1 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: This is a Jesse Kelly Show. It is the Jesse 2 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: Kelly Show. Another hour of The Jesse Kelly Show on 3 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: a Wednesday. We'll make fun of Democrats being lost here 4 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: in a moment that's a really good time. We'll talk 5 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 1: about the idiocy of sending five thousand dollars checks to everybody. 6 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: That'll be less of a good time. I'm sure that'll 7 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: get the hate mayor pouring in. Who there's some emails, 8 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 1: some other things coming up on the second hour of 9 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 1: the Jesse Kelly Show. Now, let's talk about the other 10 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: side and how they're doing out here. Not well is 11 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,919 Speaker 1: the answer to it? Lost is what they are. I 12 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: saw yet another poll this morning that says about thirty 13 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: five percent of Democrats want them to be more liberal, 14 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: more communists than they are, and roughly the same number, 15 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: about thirty five percent want them to moderate. So what 16 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: does that tell you? A lot of people know there's 17 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: a problem, a major, major, major problem. They want it fixed. 18 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: The problem is an equal number of people inside the 19 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 1: Democrat Party are religious. They do not want to convert. 20 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 1: They can't give up this oppressor, oppressed way they view 21 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: the world, and in fact, they want to double and 22 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: triple down on it. This creates a nightmare scenario for Democrats. 23 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 1: It really does create a nightmare scenario for them. And 24 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: let me explain why I talk about this the way 25 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: I talk about it. As I've said many times, I 26 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: want the Democrat Party to perform and get better. That 27 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: sounds crazy, and I know it sounds crazy out of 28 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,040 Speaker 1: my mouth because what a hardcore anti communist I am. 29 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: But like I said, we can't keep this country. I 30 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: love the country you love together. We can't keep it 31 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: together for another one hundred two hundred years if Democrats 32 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: are trying to burn it down, because they will take 33 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: power again, they will get elected president again, they will 34 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: have the House again. The set of these things will happen. 35 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: And if there's still a party that's run by people 36 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 1: who want to burn it down, we can't build as 37 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: fast as they can destroy. I've used the example and 38 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: it's the best one. Of immigration numbers, Joe Biden brings 39 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: in twenty million illegals in four years. I'm getting emails 40 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 1: every day from you, Jesse. Trump isn't deporting them fast enough. 41 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: He's thinking this is not enough. These numbers don't add up. 42 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: I told you it wasn't going to be twenty million deportations. 43 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: You can't find and depoort twenty million people. You can't 44 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,799 Speaker 1: build as fast as you can destroy. We cannot continue 45 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: for another century, two centuries if Democrats are still the 46 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: party of burn America down. That is why I am 47 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: fascinated and interested by what's going on over there. But 48 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,399 Speaker 1: you want to talk about lost, this is where they're 49 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: at now. The most sustained campaign I've seen so far 50 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: from Democrats is sobs stories about fired federal workers. I mean, 51 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: there are more than I can count. It's the most 52 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,239 Speaker 1: sustained propaganda effort I have seen since Donald Trump was 53 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: sworn in. Here it is headline National Park rangers fired 54 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: from dream job on Valentine's Day pens an emotional viral letter. 55 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: Things are not okay, he says, Oh that was just 56 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: one another one. Doge dismantles the job security of federal work. 57 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: This is of course from Axios. One of the gem 58 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: quotes in here from one of these federal workers is quote, 59 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: the mentality that federal workers have that their jobs are 60 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: protected no longer exists anymore. Even if you're not celebrating 61 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: a federal worker being fired. I get that. But you 62 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: federal workers who are being fired, do you understand what 63 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: that sounds like to all of us who live like 64 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: that every day. You might get laid off any day today. 65 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: Maybe I could get fired tonight. We're wrong that Premier 66 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: is very happy. But you never know. Maybe there's a 67 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 1: big iHeart restructuring, or maybe there's some kind of lawsuit. 68 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: Who knows, Maybe I offended one too many people. This 69 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: could be my last show ever, might be the last 70 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: time you ever hear my voice. That's how we all exist. 71 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but because I have been 72 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: out of work before in the past, and I know 73 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: what that feels like, and I know what it's like 74 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: to watch the bills pile up. My wife and I 75 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: we do not spend what we ma. Why it's not 76 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: so we can go to Barbados. Never been to Barbados. 77 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: We don't spend what we make because we always plan 78 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: on being out of work at some point in time. 79 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: It could have been during the next commercial break, I'm 80 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 1: gonna get a phone call. Hey, Chris, shut down the feed, 81 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly shows off the air. I'm out of work. 82 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: That's how you live? Is that not how you live? 83 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 2: You might get fired tomorrow. This is how normal people live. 84 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:35,359 Speaker 2: But the Democrat Party is so lost, so reaching for 85 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 2: some kind of emotional connection to Americans. The best they 86 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 2: can do is parade these federal workers in front of 87 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 2: US workers who thought they were untouchable, and tell them 88 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 2: and tell us that we should feel bad for them. 89 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 2: And now we get things like this. We get federal 90 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 2: workers who were fired levying threats like this, and they 91 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 2: think this is going to endear us to. 92 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 3: The civil servants have a lot of protections under the law, 93 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,799 Speaker 3: and we're only supposed to be fired if our performance 94 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 3: falls short on the job. So what has happened is 95 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 3: that the administration has fired us. We call it layoffs sometimes, 96 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,919 Speaker 3: but that's not what it is. It's an illegal firing. 97 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 3: And you know, it's just not credible to say that 98 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 3: thousands of people were determined to fall short of expectations. 99 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 3: I mean, literally every probationary employee at my agency was fired. 100 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 3: It can't be literally that we all fell short. So 101 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 3: what can you do now? 102 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 4: Can you do anything? 103 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 1: Now? 104 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 5: Are you going to do anything now? 105 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 3: Of course, my colleagues and I are fighting back. Our 106 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 3: union is already in court. They've brought a couple of 107 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 3: cases that I think we'll see action in in the 108 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 3: next few weeks. And you know, all I can say 109 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 3: is that Elon Musk and the President picked the wrong 110 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 3: bunch of lawyers to mess with. 111 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: Now we have fired federal employees going on television shows 112 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: threatening the Trump administration, and Democrats are so lost they 113 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: think that that will somehow endear them to the American people, 114 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: or this or this communist. As you listen to this woman, 115 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: this is gonna hurt, but I'm just gonna say it anyway. 116 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: I want you to keep in mind that you went 117 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: to work to well, not today because she's gone, but 118 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: for years and years and years, as long as you've worked, 119 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: you've gone to work. I'm sorry, Chris, I have to 120 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: say it. You've gone to work, and that money the 121 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: government has taken out of your paycheck has paid this 122 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: vile communists salary for years and years and years and 123 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: years and years. You paid the salary, you paid the benefits, 124 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: you paid this communist to work inside the federal government 125 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: to destroy your culture and your country. 126 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 6: National Cancer Institute funded study was terminated. 127 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 7: I never received a written letter, but I was told 128 00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 7: to stop work immediately. 129 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 6: In that no our research expenditures would be allowed.

Gosh, I'm gonna freaking nerd out on that. 181 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: But just a couple more words on how lost they 182 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: are right now? How lost Democrats are. Listen to these numbers, 183 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: and remember this is not necessarily an embrace of the GOP. 184 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: What I'm about to play you, some of it is 185 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: obviously an embrace of Trump. Trump is such a powerful 186 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: figure that some of it is an embrace of Trump. 187 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: But these disastrous numbers for Democrats are as much a 188 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: rejection of the communist lunacy as they are an embrace 189 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: of the GOP. You want to talk about a party 190 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: that might be in the wilderness for a while. 191 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 4: Donald Trump and the Republican Party has changed the electorate. 192 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 4: What do I mean by that? Well, let's take a 193 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,839 Speaker 4: look at party identification Democrats versus Republicans. You go back 194 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,599 Speaker 4: to twenty seventeen, five points more of the electorate was 195 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 4: Democrats than Republicans. You go to twenty twenty one when 196 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 4: Joe Biden was starting out, Look at that six points 197 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 4: more of the electorate was Democrats than Republicans. But look 198 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 4: at what's happened in February of twenty twenty five. 199 00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: Look at this Republicans. 200 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 4: There are more Republicans in the electorate than there are 201 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 4: Democrats Republican plus two. So Donald Trump and the Republicans 202 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 4: have remade the electorate. They've turned some people over from 203 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 4: being Democrats or independents to become Republicans. New folks have 204 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 4: entered the electorate who are more Republican leaning. And so 205 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,839 Speaker 4: when you combine that with the fact that Republicans are 206 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 4: really really behind Donald Trump, all of a sudden, you 207 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 4: get a winning recipe whereby you break the normal rules 208 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 4: of politics and give Donald Trump that positive net approval 209 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,079 Speaker 4: rating when he had pretty much a consistently negative one 210 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 4: in term number one. 211 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 1: Why I don't understand why people would leave the Democrat Party, 212 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:35,839 Speaker 1: You mean they don't want to. 213 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 6: Do National Cancer Institute funded study was terminated. 214 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 7: I never received a written letter, but I was told 215 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 7: to stop work immediately in that no more research expenditures 216 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 7: would be allowed. 217 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 6: My study to explore how to safely collect sexual orientation 218 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 6: and gender identity and cancer care practices. 219 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: Was it a response, Jesse, it finally happened. 220 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:57,839 Speaker 5: Oh. 221 00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 1: The title the subject to this one is I'm a 222 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:04,959 Speaker 1: failure as a parent.

You realize that 239 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: just because you tried black tar heroin once doesn't mean 240 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: you ever need to do it again.

Most people 318 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: do not grasp what a logistical marvel it was that 319 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,120 Speaker 1: we were able to fight the war in the Pacific 320 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:32,880 Speaker 1: the way we were. 321 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 5: Well, yes, first, thanks for having me on, and I 322 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,399 Speaker 5: appreciate those kind words that you just said. I agree. 323 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,880 Speaker 5: I think the logistics is what wins wars. And if 324 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:45,640 Speaker 5: you look at World War two, I know, we get 325 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 5: kind of enamored with, you know, the technology and the 326 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 5: aircraft and the tanks and the you know, all the 327 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 5: kind of really g whiz stuff. But in truth, the 328 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 5: underlying thing was it was the logistics that allowed us 329 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 5: to get the you know, the material, the arsenal democracy 330 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 5: from the home front of the battlefront. And without that, 331 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 5: really you don't have victory in World War two. And 332 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 5: that was really the big thing that allowed us to 333 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 5: fight a very long, protracted war, whereas other sides couldn't 334 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 5: do it. 335 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 1: So would you mind expanding on what has changed, because 336 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,120 Speaker 1: the last thing I saw from you you would raise 337 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: some concerns, some serious concerns about where we are now. 338 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 1: Why is it different now? How can we get that 339 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: many men bombs bullets, fuel food. How can we get 340 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: that across the Pacific Ocean en mass back in the forties, 341 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 1: Yet today we seem to be failing in a lot 342 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: of these areas. What were we versus what we are now? 343 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: And why? 344 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 5: Well, I think just one of the things we did 345 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,439 Speaker 5: is we kind of turned our backs on you know, 346 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 5: what made you know it was really the underpinning. You know, 347 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,439 Speaker 5: we like to think of ourselves, for example, as a 348 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 5: maritime nation, as you know, a sea power. But you know, 349 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 5: if you look at that kind of definition of seapower, 350 00:19:58,280 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 5: you go back to the writings of people like out 351 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 5: theyre Mahan when he's talking about seapower. It's not just 352 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,679 Speaker 5: naval forces, it's commercial forces. And what we decided to 353 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 5: do post World War Two, and really accentuated even more 354 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 5: in the nineteen eighties and nineties, was kind of outsource. 355 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,160 Speaker 5: You know, something we've been seeing happen in a lot 356 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 5: of industries across the United States. But we outsourced our shipping. 357 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 5: And so whereas at the end of World War Two 358 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 5: we had the largest navy and the largest merchant marine 359 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 5: in the world, we were hauling sixty three percent of 360 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 5: the world's goods on us flag ships. We were the 361 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 5: number one shipbuilder in the world. Today we find ourselves 362 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 5: in a situation where we have the number one navy 363 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 5: in the world, but we're the number twenty one in 364 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 5: terms of merchant marine. And if you look at shipbuilding, 365 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,880 Speaker 5: China outbuilds US two hundred and thirty five to one. 366 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,679 Speaker 5: China right now is building over fifty percent of the 367 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 5: world ships. We build zero point two percent of the 368 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,199 Speaker 5: world ships. 369 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: Why should that matter to Let's say I'm not interest 370 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: in the navy or anything like that, which I obvious 371 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: see am. But let's say I'm just a normal American. 372 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 1: These things history, Navy, World War two stuff doesn't concern me. 373 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,679 Speaker 1: Why would having a merchant marine that's not quite what 374 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: it once was? Why do I care? 375 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 5: Well, I think we've got, you know, for my channel, 376 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 5: what's going on with shipping. It all came into being when, 377 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 5: ever given when sideways in the Suez and all of 378 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 5: a sudden people found out how dependent we were on shipping. 379 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 5: And then you add into it the global supply chain 380 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 5: crisis that came in with one hundred and nine ships 381 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 5: off of la and Long Beach. We saw what happened 382 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 5: when the Dolly took out the bridge and closed in 383 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,880 Speaker 5: the American port for two months and two to three 384 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 5: percent of our imports exports couldn't move. I think, you know, 385 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 5: one of the things that I think is really important 386 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 5: to understand today is a country like China, for example, 387 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 5: which has a major shipping firm, the Chinese overseas shipping 388 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 5: company Costco. Not the big box store, this is cos 389 00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 5: COO they have you know, they control and hall about 390 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 5: fifteen percent of the world ships. And all Chairman g 391 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 5: has to do to put pressure on the United States 392 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,640 Speaker 5: is tell the head of that company is like, hey, 393 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 5: just slow down your ships, you know, come in late 394 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,199 Speaker 5: to the United States two days and that would cause 395 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 5: massive disruptions in the United States. One of the reasons 396 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 5: we should have our own merchant marine, and I'm a 397 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 5: big advocate for it. Plus along with shipbuilding, is it 398 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 5: gives us the ability to absorb hits and not be 399 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 5: so one hundred percent dependent on foreign shipping and foreign companies. 400 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: Okay, now let's talk about the why Sal again, we're 401 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: speaking with Sal Mericogliano. His YouTube channel is outstanding. It's 402 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:48,120 Speaker 1: called What's going on with Shipping? Why do we lose 403 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 1: all this shipping? I mean, I'm a moron, but I 404 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 1: have a map. I'm looking at all this coast slide, 405 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: east coast, west coast. We should be churning out ships 406 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: by the dozen, but China is and we are not. 407 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 1: Is this over regulation thing what happened to us? 408 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 5: Sure? So, I mean you had a couple of things 409 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 5: that really evolved that saw this. So one of the 410 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,640 Speaker 5: first things was you had during the Second World War, 411 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 5: we use some shipping from other countries to help get 412 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 5: around some rules and regulations and neutrality laws. So, for example, 413 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 5: when we wanted to support the British in their fight 414 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 5: against the Germans, before we got in it, we weren't 415 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 5: allowed to ship something like one hundred octane fuel necessary 416 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 5: for the Battle of Britain and their planes, so we 417 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,880 Speaker 5: used Panama ships to do that. After the war, Panamanian 418 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 5: registry was seen as a nice, cheap alternative. They were 419 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 5: cheaper ships to operate, they were cheaper to build, they 420 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 5: were cheaper to crew. And so what you saw was 421 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 5: a proliferation of open registries. These ships that are out 422 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 5: there that are sailing under the flags of the Marshall Islands, 423 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,640 Speaker 5: Liberia and Panama. Now we're seeing the problem with that, 424 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,640 Speaker 5: when you have someone like the Huthi, for example, start 425 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 5: attacking those ships, whose navy is supposed to defend them? 426 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 5: Is it the US navy or is it supposed to 427 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 5: be the Liberian navy? And I can tell you the 428 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 5: Liberian Navy is not coming, so it winds up being US, 429 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 5: even though we're not paying for that. Then you have really, 430 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 5: you know, changes in technology. We saw, you know, the 431 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:23,160 Speaker 5: US has been an innovator in shipping technology. We perfected 432 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 5: the use of oil, oil and ships, which allowed us 433 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 5: to sell longer distances. We came up with new technologies 434 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 5: ultra large tankers. We came up with the concept of 435 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 5: the cruise ship, the modern cruise ship. And more importantly, 436 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 5: we came up with the idea of the container ship, 437 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 5: which absolutely revolutionized our ability to move goods. If you 438 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 5: look at the end of World War Two, we moved 439 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 5: about a half a billion tons on the world's oceans. 440 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,360 Speaker 5: Last year twenty twenty four, we moved over twelve billion tons, 441 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,640 Speaker 5: and so we are moving cargo faster, you know, more 442 00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,360 Speaker 5: velocity and more volume than ever before. And the truth 443 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 5: what the US did was we just kind of really 444 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 5: turned our back on the shipping side. We believe that, 445 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 5: you know, our allies and our friends, and we could 446 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 5: always depend on what was left of the US merchant 447 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 5: Marine in time of war, and you know, we would 448 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 5: have these these allies, you know, in Korea, NATO and 449 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 5: other places. However, what we're seeing now is that a 450 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 5: lot of these shipping companies are big international conglomerates and 451 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 5: you can't really rely on them the way they do. 452 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 5: Their priority is their company and their stockholders, not so 453 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 5: much the United States or even the countries where the 454 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 5: companies are based. So like Marisk in Denmark, you can't 455 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 5: really sit there and say, well, Denmark's an ally, therefore 456 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,120 Speaker 5: marri School will be there if we need them. 457 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 1: Why is China so good at it? Just because? Is 458 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: it just a matter of will? Is it just a 459 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 1: matter of they decided they wanted to be and they 460 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: just pushed forward and made it so? Is that why 461 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: China is better now? 462 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 5: So if you again you look at how it evolved. 463 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 5: At the end of World War Two, we helped repopulate 464 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 5: our Allied merchant marines. We sold them over a thousand 465 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 5: ships to replace the ships they lost. We had the 466 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 5: Marshall Plan that allowed them to rebuild their shipyards. But 467 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 5: many of those countries in Europe and Japan, for example, 468 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 5: they set up policies that helped support their industries. So 469 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 5: they provided either subsidies or a lot of incentives to 470 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 5: promote investment into those sectors. And what we've seen happen 471 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,679 Speaker 5: is kind of it shifted over the years. It was 472 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,679 Speaker 5: Japan and Japan and Europe, and then it went to Korea. 473 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 5: But then in the early two thousands, China saw this 474 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,719 Speaker 5: as a key element that they could control the trade, 475 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,959 Speaker 5: and so they have invested heavily, not just in ship ownership. 476 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 5: They're one of the biggest, for example, providers of merchant 477 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 5: mariners in the world. They control literally the production of 478 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 5: metal containers, the big, huge shipping boxes around the world. 479 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,479 Speaker 5: And then the big thing they're doing, as I mentioned earlier, 480 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 5: is they're really developing the concept of being the biggest 481 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,120 Speaker 5: shipbuilder in the world. This past year they are building 482 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 5: on order over sixty three percent of the world ships. 483 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 5: And they just realized that this is a way that 484 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:19,120 Speaker 5: they can really dominate economics. They can control trade, and 485 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 5: they can control the flow of imports and exports in 486 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 5: and out of their country. 487 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,960 Speaker 1: So sal that was freaking awesome.

They're doing a lot better than we 540 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 8: do in the schools, aren't they. Two million dollars to 541 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 8: develop sustainable recycling models to increase socioeconomic cohesion among marginalized 542 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 8: communities in Kosovo and es Kali and in Egypt.

You know, I would tell you 547 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 1: if I was if I wasn't, I'm thrilled, But I 548 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: want you to imagine this. I want you to imagine 549 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 1: that your house is crumbling. Termites have gotten in, Your 550 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: foundation has cracked, been some bad settlement in your area. 551 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 1: Your foundation is cracked. The termites have eaten through the 552 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 1: studs in the walls. Your home is crumbling. Now on 553 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 1: top of this, the plants in your backyard, the landscaping, 554 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 1: they've died. In fact, the plants in the front yard 555 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 1: died too. You had a bad freeze. The plants have died. 556 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 1: Now you decide you need to save your home, and 557 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:03,480 Speaker 1: you start digging in on the plants. You're tearing out 558 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 1: all the bad plant Let's get rid of these bad plants. 559 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 1: These plants are dead. We got bad plants in the 560 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 1: front yard, bad plants in the backyard. You replace the 561 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 1: plants and you have brand new landscaping. Are you fine 562 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 1: in that home now? 563 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 5: Well? 564 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 1: No, you've prettied it up. It looks better from the outside, 565 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 1: and you did things that mattered. But the foundation is 566 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 1: still cracking. The studs are collapsing in the walls. What 567 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 1: we are discussing with these DOGE cuts are significant cuts. 568 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 1: I don't want to be dismissive of them. But the 569 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: debt and deficit disaster in this country that we are 570 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 1: already in and is getting worse if you pay attention 571 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: to this budget process, which you'll get to in a moment, 572 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 1: that's the foundation of the country. That is the crumbling 573 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 1: walls in the country. The inflation you feel has not 574 00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 1: gotten better. Has it? Has your gross grostry bill gone down, 575 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 1: your power bill when you're buying some have you seen 576 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 1: inflation relief? Now? Elon Musk came out this morning. He's 577 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 1: been floating it out there, talking about taking these savings 578 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,720 Speaker 1: twenty percent of the savings, twenty percent of two trillion 579 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 1: dollars and sending a five thousand dollars check to the 580 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:24,560 Speaker 1: seventy nine million dollars seventy nine minute to the seventy 581 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 1: nine million American taxpayers. It's not just an Elon Musk idea. 582 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 1: In case you're wondering, as part of this speech Trump 583 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 1: gave a couple hours ago, he came out and he said, this. 584 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 8: Is even under consideration, a new concept where we give 585 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 8: twenty percent of the DOGE savings to American citizens, and 586 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 8: twenty percent goes to paying down debt. Because the numbers 587 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 8: are incredible, elon so many billions. 588 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 1: Of this Ye, we got it, We got it. I 589 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 1: want a five thousand dollars check as much as you 590 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 1: want a five thousand dollars check. Believe me, you should 591 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 1: see look on Chris's face. No one wants worse than Chris. 592 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 1: But let me ask you something. Which number is greater 593 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 1: five thousand dollars or even one percent of all the 594 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,360 Speaker 1: goods and services you buy in your life in a 595 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,880 Speaker 1: given year? One percent. I didn't even give you a 596 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 1: high percentage. Think about everything in your life, add or 597 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,239 Speaker 1: subtract one percent. I don't care which direction you go. 598 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 1: Which number is greater five thousand dollars or one percent 599 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 1: of all the goods in services you buy in your life. 600 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 1: It's the inflation that is murdering us, all the inflation 601 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,279 Speaker 1: because the budget is out of control. That is the 602 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 1: reason your standard of living is significantly lower than it 603 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 1: was a few years ago. We don't need five thousand 604 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 1: dollars steamy checks. I understand the excitement we're finding the fraud, 605 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 1: and I understand the sentiment, it's my money, give it back. 606 00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,359 Speaker 1: I get it. I'm not even criticizing you for it. 607 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 1: That money must go to the debt in the deficit, 608 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 1: for the good of all of us, including you, you, me, 609 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 1: the good of the entire United States of America.
